This plane was constructed as the successor to the Heinkel He 60 and was to be the basic plane for the heavy Kriegsmarine ships. The first two Ar 196 prototypes were completed and made test flights in the summer of 1937. These were the Ar 196V1 and Ar 196V2 aeroplanes equipped with two metal floats. These prototypes were to be the reference machines of the Ar 196A version, while the third and fourth Ar 196V3 and Ar 196V4 prototypes, equipped with one large central float and small stabilisers under the wings, were to be used for the reference version B.

Later, planes were successively replaced on the ships: Scharnhorst, Gneisenau, Deutschland, Admiral Scheer and Prinz Eugen. After satisfying the first needs of the Kriegsmarine, Arado began producing the Ar 196 A-2 version intended for coastal aviation units (Kunstenfligerstaffeln).

The A-4 also had a propeller cap. 24 Ar 196 A-4 manufactured. One of the greatest feats of the Ar-196 unit and planes was the attack and capture of a British submarine. On May 5, 1940, during a routine patrol, the crew of Sec. Gunther Mahrens spotted a submarine in the waters of the Kattegat. The plane, along with the second Arado Ar 196, attacked the British unit. The ship's crew (HMS Seal) surrendered. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTechnical data: Top speed: 320 km \/ h; rate of climb: 6.9 m \/ s, maximum ceiling 7000 m, maximum range: 1070 km, armament: fixed - 2 20mm MG FF cannons, 3 machine guns 7.92mm caliber, suspended - up to 100 kg.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2025-12-12T17:12:54+02:00","created_at":"2025-12-12T17:12:53+02:00","vendor":"Revell","type":"Scale Model Kits","tags":["Brand_Revell","Category_Aircraft","Scale_1\/32 Scale","Type_Propeller Aircraft"],"price":93995,"price_min":93995,"price_max":93995,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":47766108963067,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"4009803037875","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Revell - 1\/32 Arado Ar196A-3 Seaplane","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":93995,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Revell-1_32AradoAr196A-3Seaplane.png?v=1765552572"],"featured_image":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Revell-1_32AradoAr196A-3Seaplane.png?v=1765552572","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":40276599603451,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":525,"width":700,"src":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Revell-1_32AradoAr196A-3Seaplane.png?v=1765552572"},"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":525,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Revell-1_32AradoAr196A-3Seaplane.png?v=1765552572","width":700}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch1\u003e1\/32 Arado Ar196A-3 Seaplane\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRevell 03787\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExcludes all glues, paints and tools necessary to assemble.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGerman reconnaissance seaplane from World War II.
